Fitness Trade-Offs Associated with the Evolution of Resistance to Antifungal Drug Combinations

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of drug resistance threatens human health worldwide. An emerging strategy to mitigate drug resistance is combination therapy. The fate of multidrug-resistant pathogens depends on their fitness relative to susceptible counterparts, yet the fitness consequences of multidrug resistance remain enigmatic. Here, we dissect fitness consequences of the evolution of resistance to antifungal drug combinations...
